a couple questions Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

If you have an Industry rating of +1, does that reduce the mineral cost of buildings, units and SPs by 10%?

How do you use supply crawlers?

I have read about a rule that you can't use specialists before you get to a base size of 5. However, I have been able to use them before that. Is this a bug?

Yes (except on small and tiny maps).

Move the crawler to an unworked tile, press 'O', and pick the type of resource you want. To cash them for projects, move them into the base building the project, and if the game doesn't ask you if you'd like to use them towards the project, press 'O' and pick that option.

You can use Doctors, Empaths, and Transcendi in any bases. If you have other specialists and your base falls below size 5, you can keep them. You can also generate other specialists at small bases in the F4 screen (even at other players' bases!), but that's a bug.

Why do industry bonuses not work on small maps?

Industry bonuses reduce your mineral row widths 10% each. If, for some reason, the row width is not a multiple of 10, the resulting decimal is rounded up. On small maps, rows are 9 wide. On tiny maps, they are 8 wide. If you apply +1 industry, you get 8.1 and 7.2, which round to 9 and 8, respectively. If for some other reason your mineral rows are some other length, the same effect will occur.
